My name is Lea Casey. I am excited to begin my 19th year of teaching. I began my career in Florida where I taught 8th grade Science at Jinks Middle School and 4th grade at Lynn Haven Elementary. I moved back to Cullman, Alabama in 2009. When I first came to East Elementary I taught 6th grade and sponsored the EES Yearbook and EES Math Team. I have been teaching 4th grade at East Elementary since 2015. I have a Bachelor's Degree from Auburn University (2000) and a Master's Degree from Florida State University (2008). I am currently pursuing my National Boards.

I am blessed to have one child, Noah, who attends Cullman Middle School and will be in 8th grade. He is a member of the CMS Cross Country Team and Scholar's Bowl team. He also attends Triad Martial Arts for karate and jujitsu.  

In my spare time I love running, swimming, yard work, being outdoors, cooking, and reading. Noah and I are both members of Tally Ho Fitness. We LOVE CrossFit. We also love spending as much time as possible with our 2 year old Maltese Terrier, Lucy. She is definitely the princess of the house! We are members of Northbrook Baptist Church. We love spending time with our church family. 

I am very excited for another year in 4th grade doing what I LOVE...Math! I absolutely love my job and could not dream of a better place to work!!
